Kehowski put on administrative leave Aug. 29
Just in A. Harrison well as in an e-mail sent out to GCC faculty. Abel not limited to, Maricopa's non-discr imination policy
Walter Kehowski, a Glendale Community College
(GCC) ll"lath professor, was put on paid administrative
leave Monday, Aug. 29. Kehowski's leave is a result
of a pending investigation of alleged violatio ns of
the Maricopa County Community College Dtstnct'
(MCCCD) technology resource standards.
said, "It's just standard policy that we are unable to and its po licy against sexual harassment. This means

NAU Professor studies college students~ lives; writes book
Chrissy Luao
It's hard to imagine that a professor
would go through all the trouble in
pretending to be a college student for
two semesters, just to find out why
students do not care .
One professor, by the name of
Cathy Small did just that to search for
answers.
Small, an anthropologist professor
at Northern Arizona Unive rsity often
wondered why students had the
tendency to eat in class and why some
never cared to come to her office hours,
even if they needed help.
Small enrolled for two semesters
at NAU, moved mto a single dorm
and started her observations for her
upcommg book, "My Freshmen Year:
What a Professor Learned by Becoming
a Student," scheduled to come out
sometime this mo nth.
In her book, Small menuons that
nearly two th1rds of what students
learn ts ources from outs1de of the
classroom in work, relauon haps. and
living 1tuallons.
It is important to note, however,
that most of her research was made on
a freshmen colle.ge level point-of-view.
Walter Pate, a sophomore GCC
student, criminal justice major,
somewhat agrees.
"I learned a lot from relationships.
But, I learned the most from growing
up but not necessarily from school,"
says Pate.
Another GCC student, fre hmen.
Jo h Hope, business major, says that at
is day- to-day life that students e1ther
learn from all sources.
"School g1ves tudents necessary
background information everybody
should know one way or another," says
Hope.
Another th10g that Small observed
as a student 1 the fact that tudents
tend to hang out w1th thear own race,
especially those of Anglo ethnicatie .
Freshmen GCC s tudent, Yasmme
Asadi, art maJOr, defimtely agrees. Asadi
said that she believes that segregauon IS
among us but that does not mean that
students are necessary raast.
•tt is more of a cultural thing. I
think. It also depends on if you are
open-minded," s tated Asadi.
Pate commented by saying, "It's
true. That's hfe, though. I interact WJth
my own race more. I do. I interact the
most w1th the football team and the
rest I'm cool w1th." stated Pate.
An even more mtere ungobservauon
is that Small, "d1d not hear one pohucal
or plulosoph1cal dascuss10n dunng
her time m the dorm by that plenty of
atte.nt1on wa focused in whach students
d1scussed thetr sex laves.·
Hope agrees, "Yes, o rne people talk
about sex on a da1ly bas1s. What lthmk
about on a dally basas IS findmg g1rls
and fnends and domg well in school;
says Hope.
Although there has been qu1te a
controversy about the book, according
to Small, "the purpose of thi approach
IS not expose; it as understanding and
paSSIOn."
Asadi disagrees. She feels that
it is still b1ased and feels Small JUSt
dec1ded to pay attention to tereotype
and d1d not get to know the students
10dav1dually.
Pate disagrees also, "All that research
d1d was, conunue the tereorype that
college students do not care about the1r
educauon. You have to care about your
educauon 10 order to do methang 10
hfe," says Pate. "You can always be out
there making money. Anybody can get
a Job at McDonalds ."

Interim President Abel -presides
over Glendale Community ~ollege
uurenMyen
lhe end of the spring semester of
2005 brought the retirement of President
Randolph. Since Dr. Randolph has left
GCC, Vice- President Jean Ann Abel has
been appointed to the position of Interim
President of GCC. She will act as the
temporary president until a new president
is appointed.
Interim President Abel has been with
the Maricopa County District for 21 years
and has been here at GCC for 16 yeus.
Due to the years that Interim President
Abel has been involved with GCC, Interim
President Abel was someone that was
easy to transition in to the position of
president.
"The transition was not as difficult as
it would have been if had I been here a
shorter period of time or from another unit
from within the district. I know the people
here and I know the progra~s here; said
Interim President Abel.
Interim President Abel has more
than just years at GCC. She also has
life experience and contacts with in the
community that make her qualified to take
on the position.
Through her community contacts,
Interim President Abel hopes to be able
help the faculty at GCC.
In fact, Interim President Abel"s
personal goals include helping faculty
members who are looking for a different
way to do things or trying to develop
something new. She also would like to
help faculty that are trying to work with
other colleges or universities.
"I just really enjoy doing whatever I can
do to help them [GCC faculty} and support
them; said Interim President Abel.
As Interim President, Abel will be
continuing to give support in moving
initiatives along. If there are any new
initiatives then she will review those and
move forward.
A large screening committee has
reviewed applications for the president's
position.
There is already a pool of applications
and over the summer, the position was
promoted to gain more applications.
Currently, the committee is setting up
the interviews.
Each candidate is required to go
through a long and rigorous process
before someone is appointed as president.
It is possible that by Jan. GCC will have a
new president.

El debate nacional del uso y del estudio de
stem cells (cclulas madre) que sc a llevado
acabo en los ultimos aiios. es algo que deberia
de ser explorado a Condo con las debidas
precauciones.
Algunos investigadores, creen que el estudio
y el uso de estas celulas tendrian un gran
potencial para aliviar un sinfln de enfermedades.
Potencialmente podrian curar 100 miUones de
enfermedades y padecimientos. que millones de
americanos sufren todos los dlas. De acuerdo
a wikipedi.org, algunas de estas enfermedades
induyen danos musculares, daiio de medula
espinal, ceguera, cancer, enfermedades
cardiovasculares. entere otras.
El debate del uso de estas celula.s, sea
concentrado en el uso de embriones humanos,
como el cultivo estas celulas. Mucha gente esta
en desacuerdo con el uso de embriones. para el
P€fDI(Jts
cultivo de las cclulas madre. porque este produce
que el embri6n muera
Se le deberia de permitir a los c1cntificos
el uso de cclulas embriomcas provenientes de

pais esta dispuesto a tirar un embri6n, pero no
esta di puesto a usarlo en algo que beneficiar ia
a Ia rasa humana. Mujeres van a continuar
teniendo abortos, y deberiamos hacer que de

El presidente Bush a puesto enormes limites

Stem cell research
gives hope to sick
C urrcntly, there are millions of people dying because they
have cancer and it cannot be cured because they need
a new heart and there is not one available, or they were
in a car accident in whtch they lo t limbs and organs. Stem cell
research could change the carrent outcome of these tragedies.
As technology continues to evolve at a rapid rate, the much
slower paced world debates whether or not it is ethical. One
debate that has had the US citizens talking for .the last couple
of years is the study and use of stem cell research. Stem cell
research is something that should be explored further with the
correct precautions in place.
Some researchers regard stem cell research as having the
greatest potential to alleviate the human race from its ailments
since peniciiJin. This is because it could potentially cure over
100 million diseases and ailments that Americans suffer from
every day. According to en.wikipedi.org, this includes spinal
cord injury, muscle damage, baldness, blindness, cancer, heart
damage and low blood supply. Reverend calls for assassination
Much of the debate about stem cell research has been
surrounding the use of human embryos to harvest stem cells.
Understandably. many people get upset about using embryo
because it kills the embryo when stem cells arc harvested from
them. The key to this problem lies in deciding exactly when
a human embryo becomes a person with rights to life. Some
say that point is at conception while others say it's further into
pregnancy.
Researchers should be allowed to use embryonic stem cell
from abortions that happen every day. This country is willing to
throw away an embryo but is not willing to use it for something
that may benefit the entire human race. Women are going
to continue to have abortions so we may as well make a sad
situation into something useful.
President Bush has put huge limits on embryonic stem cell
research by announcing in August 2001 that researchers can
only usc existing stem cell lines.
Researchers usc embryonic stem cells because they
can extract types of stem cells that are called Totipotent or
Pluripotent. These cells can be grown into any cell type without
exception. These cells can even create more of the same kinds
of cells.
However, each cell can only reproduce so many times before
the line of stem cells become useless for research. The lines of
stem cells that were being used in 2001 are now useless.
There are other types of stem cells besides embryonic. stem
cells. These are called adult stem cells. These kinds of cells
are called Multipotent and Progenitor. These stem cells can be
extracted from adults, children and infants without harm but
have limited use because they can only produce cells of a closely
related family or one cell type. While these stem cells are useful,
there is much greater potential that is yet undiscovered.
Just like anything else, stem cell research can be abused. It
would be very unethical to usc stem cells to practically "farm"
humans. It is one thing to make new hearts available to all
terminal patients but it is inhumane to create an entire human
being and then Stmply piece out the parts as needed. Obviously,
regulations and restrictions need to be put into place to keep the
technology reasonable yet useful.

Thou shall not kill; unless thou art

This seems to be re~igious leader,
Pat Robertson's, new version of the 6 ..
Commandment. That's right: Robertson is at
it again with another one of his outrageous
statements, this time calling for the
assa.ssination of Venezuelan President Hugo
Chavez.

"You know, I don't know about this doctrine
of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to
assassinate him, I think that we really ought to
go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than
starting a war; said Robertson.
Wow! I must have missed the day of Sunday
school when the teacher taught that it was
okay to kill another human being under certain
circumstances. I find it very ironic that a
well-known religious leader is advocating the
assassination of another human's life.
First and foremost, Robertson's comments
were not only ignorant but arrogant as well. By
this I mean, he chose to neglect the fact that he
is representing (sadly) the United States along
with Chrtstianity.
Being a religious leader, Robertson has
certain responsibilities to uphold, one of which
is recognizing the weight of his words. While
we have all been frustrated at one time or
another wtth the issues surrounding politics,
it is his respon ibility as a relig.ious leader, to

under no circumstances, call for the murder
of another person as a solution to a problem.
Killing somebody should never be a resolution
to any dilemma. especially in the eyes of a
religious leader. He of all people should know it
is not his place to judge let alone determine the
fate of another person's life.
l he United States was also misrepresented

with Robertson, he made it seem as though this
was a popular view shared by Americans.
Where is the justification for advocating
the murder of another human being and yet
being so against the ever so controversial issue
of abortion? Robertson's strong public stance
against abortion does not quite match up with
his strong statement against Chavez. Rather, it
is completely hypocritical. ihe bottom line is
Robertson needs to think before he speaks in

U. S. officials plan· to stay in Iraq 4 more years
FrAnk Morrb
In the face of a rising death toll and sinking
approval numbers, President George W. Bush
continues to reject recent calls for immediate
withdrawal of troops in Iraq, as the Pentagon
plans to temporarily increa.se its number of
armed forces in Iraq, and the Army prepares to
stay in Iraq until at least 2009.
Nearly 1,900 American troops have died in
Iraq si'nce the start of the war in March 2003.
Over 40 of those deaths occurred in August,
making last month the deadliest month of the
war thus far for the US military.
An estimated, tens of thousands of Iraqi
civilians have also died since the start of the
war.
With political violence and unrest continuing
in Iraq, the Pentagon is drafting plans to keep
the number of US forces in Iraq at, or above,
100,000 for another four years to prepare for
a "worse case scenario" -- though these figures
could be adjusted lower if necessary.
Presently, the number of US troops in Iraq
is 138.000.
l his number will temporarily increase in
mid-Scptrmbcr, however, when the Pentagon
sends an additional 1,500 paratroopers to Iraq
to provtde secunty ahead of the scheduled
constitutton rderendum tn October and the
national elections in December.
l hey wtll stay in Iraq for four months.
Meanwhile, Pre ident Bush's approval
numbers·· both for his overall job performance,
and for his handling of the Iraq war •· are at a
record low, hovering at or below 40 percent.
The president had seen approval numbers in
the low to mid-40s most of the year.
"Millions of Americans are simply 'war
averse;' says Dr. William Lamkin, professor of
world politics at GCC. "Many who supported
the war earlier are less enthusiastic now."
One such person is Cindy Sheehan, who has
become a global voice in speaking out against
the war. Her son, Casey, died in the Iraq war Ia t
year.
With no weapons of mass destruction found
in Iraq, Sheehan is seeking answers from the
president over the purpose of her son's death.
The president has so far refused to speak to
Sheehan one-on-one.
Sheehan began a peace vigil outside Bush's
Crawford ranch on Aug. 6 that attracted over
3.000 demo~strators in support of either
Sheehan or Bush.
Sheehan is currently on an anti-war bus tour
to Wa htngton, D.C .. When he arrives on Sept:
24, he and other protester wtll then begtn a
24-hour vtgtl there.
De pile growtng dt content with the Iraq
war, Prestdent Bush remains fi rm in "staytng the
course~
Pulling out of the Iraq war now "will almost
surely increase the probability of future terronst
attacks on American civilians inside of the US."
Lamkin contends. Lamkin also thinks "setting
any realistic target date [for withdrawal of
troops in Iraq] would be almost as bad as pulling
out tomorrow: and that the debate over the war
hurts troop morale.
A number of Americans. including Deborah
Johns, are of the same mind. Johns, a mother of
a son serving in Iraq, began the campaign called
"You don't speak for me, Cindy!" to counter
Sheehan's protests.
Johns' pro-war bus tour stopped in Glendale
at Arribas Mexican Grill at Arrowhead Towne
Center last month.
Johns and her followers are suppon ers of
Bush's war policy, and strongly disagree with
Sheehan's calls for pulling out of the Iraq war.
lhey cla1m that speaking out against the warts
netther upporuve of servtce men and women,
nor conducive to winning the war.
Vanous pohuctan from both tde of the
political pectrum would agree.
Recently, however, Bush has faced har h
cnuct m from a promtnent member of hts own
party. Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of cbra ka
has compared the Iraq war to Vietnam and has
made demands for a pull-out strategy and a
withdrawal date from the Bu h admini tratton.
Many GCC students are also growmg
dtsillu toned with the Iraq war.
Sean Martin, an art freshma n, is concerned
that by staytng in Iraq longer, the number and
frequency of terror-related incidents, both
in ide and outstde of the US, will inc rea e.
Marttn also doe n't believe that votcing
oppo ition to the Iraq war is necessanly
unsupportlve of the troops.· Even if a person says
'bring the troops back home: that's supporting
our troops because you're aying that for the
sake of our troops."
Bu iness freshman, David Coffel. concurs.
"We, a a country, don't support this war, we
don't support [Bush's war) policy, but the one
thing we do. and have to do, is upport our
troops." Coffel a ~M! rts.

59th Avenue construction produces mixed feelings
Gi- Delahunt
ln the past, a drive down 59 Avenue did not include
construction that would malce you think about taking an alternate
route. Now 59 avenue will endure construction to widen the four
lanes to six.
"The construction will take place all the way from downtown
Glendale to the 101 loop and will only be on the west side. It
will move from the south to the north." explained Charles Jeffrey,
Dean of Inst.
The construction may cause ihe usual noise and inconvenience
for civilians but the idea of spreading the lanes is to ensure better
traffic flow. The construction wiH be temporary but the outcome
will make an lasting effect.
"The negative effects of the construction is the noise and the
growth and development that occurs. The positive effects are that
there will be extra lanes. There will be three lanes on each side.
by 59 avenue and the construction will be a hassle but I think
it will ease traffic congestion. I think that their will also be less
accidents for the students entering the college, because their will
be more lanes.·
Also there will be mediums going across 59 avenue. The
mediums will keep the drivers from cutting across. This will create
safer traffic flow and will be more efficient; descr ibes Jeffrey.
As the construction moves south to north, it may seem that 59
avenue will be in traffic for some time. It can't be said exactly how
long the construction will take. There are never any certainties. It
may be safer and faster to take alternate routes such as 51 avenue.
The alternate routes will help you to avoid any detours that you
may be forced to take if you decide to drive down 59.
The money that is being provided for this project will mostly
be from the city. They will provide about two million dollars and
hopefully that will be enough to take care of the project. There is
always a chance that the money could run out and if so hopefully
their will be some back up plan.
• I just recently received a job on 59 avenue and Greenway.
Kelly Hall, Glendale Community College student says, "I live
I know that the construction is for a good cause but I am not
looking forward to the hassle that comes with construction;

Robots help people complete mundane daily tasks
S<ml St. John
Robots are no longer the things of science fiction movies.
They are becoming a massive area of study and are already
making their way into conventional society.
That's right, they will do your chores, check on your children,
provide help and companion hip and offer home security and
.much, much more. In fact, there are even wearable robots being
developed for people with physical injuries or limitations.
There are a variety of robots already on the market of all shapes
and sizes and of course, price ranges. You can purchase these
robots at a range of places such as sonystyle.com, sharperimage.
com, and probotics.com.
You can get the Roomba Floor Vac starting at $149.99 and it
will vacuum your house while you are away. It has a low profile
that allows for it to vacuum under furniture and sweep along
walls and baseboards with ease. It al.so has a docking station to
charge itself after every job.
The Friendly- Robotics Robomower RL1000 is a top of the
line robotic mower that can be used instead of a traditional
manual mower. It can be programmed effortlessly to do the
mowing only when you want it to. The Robomower also has zone
programming with edge learning capabilitie as well as a cutting
and mulchang system. The price for one of these yard work
helpers is $1.599.00.
The Walcamaru is a yellow humanoid designed by Mitsubishi
Heavy Industries. He will cost about $15,000.00 when he becomes
available in the United States. He'll retrieve your email, remind
you of your schedule, and provide home security by watching
your home and giving you updates through his camera. He'll
also adjust to your schedule accordingly, and even charge himself
when his battery gets low.
The AJBO Entertainment Robot is probably one you are more
likely to be familiar with. It understands and responds to 100-t
words and phrases, you can raise it from a puppy to an adult dog.
it has a built in .music player and scheduler, and it has a video and
photo recorder. One of these little puppies will only set you back
$1,999.99.
Waiting for the price of robots to go down before purchasing
one?
According to Tom Sugar, a mechanical engineering professor
at Arizona State University and the only robotics professor in the
state of Arizona, "it's a numbers game."
Meaning, when large amounts of robots are being sold, only
then will the price of robots go down. This will be much more
lilcely when large companies like Honda and Toyota get involved
with this technology, which they are beginning to.
Many people view robot technology in a negative Light because
they believe that robots will replace humans in the workforce and
lead to a decline in humanism. This is a concern that came about
in the 1970's when robots were first introduced.
It can also be said that robot.s are a positive modernism that
only replace humans on jobs that are boring or dangerous. For
example, robot technology is being developed for the military for
bomb disposal and surveillance.
They are actually supposed to be able to aid humans with
their work and provide them with more time for other things in
the way that palm pilots and cell phones do.
"Humans are adept and creative and there will always be a
place for them in the workforce, whether they are working alone
or with robots." said Tom Suga.r.
Robot technology is an idea of the past, a staple of research
today1 and is an innovation of the future.
Forensics Team travels to Prague to compete in Internationals
Justin A. Hurison
The GCC Forensics team is going to
Internationals this year. The event will be held
in Prague in the Czech Re public. The budget
allows six members to compete. Those who
are competing are returning members Roxan
Alexander, Kenney Barrett, Tenisha Bonds,
and newcomer Michelle Duffin. There are
two openings for other members wanting to
compete.
Kirt Shineman, director of forensics, said
teams have to place at three tournaments in the
top three in order to qualify for Internationals.
GCC's team qualified this year by winning
Nationals last year.
Internationals consists of many events .

Shinernan said, "It's a hard competition because
of the people we have competed against
throughout the year and some people we have
not competed against."
The event that GCC's team will compete in
is literature by Vaklav Havel, president of the
Czech Republic. Havel will be attending the
competition as an observer.
Many events take place between Nationals
and Internationals. Shineman said, "Vety rarely
do we compete against just community colleges.
We compete against ASU and NAU every
weekend and, thank god, we usually beat them.·
Roxan Alexander, a returning member, has
been on the GCC team for six semesters. She
was on her high school's team in Texas for three
years and said that college level forensics is

completely different then that of high school.
Shineman said, "Students who come from high
school (forensics) usually have a harder time
making that transition (into the collegiate level)
then those people who have no experience
whatsoever."
There are many academic rewards for
forensics members. Scholarships are awarded
to members based on how their team placed
throughout the year. Tenisha Bonds, a returning
member, said that forensics helps one's writing
skills. This is due to the amount of research
needed for platform speeches. Bonds said,
"It helps with your int~rpersonal skills and I
think that's very impor tant in the work place."
Bonds said .that forensics helps one to be
more professional. Bonds said that through
forensics she now has the skills to communicate
with possible employers when going for job
interviews.
Ryan Gallifant, a new member, said that
he is involved with communications because
he is going into. pre-law. Gallifant feels that
forensics will_aid him in arguing effectively in
the courtroom.
There are only three communications
majors on GCC's team. However, Shineman
said, "(Forensics) docs not require that you have
a communicatioh major: GCC's Forensics team
meets on Wednesdays from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m.

PTCL is characterized by cancerous T-cells,

Anthropologist professor
works in Lestho, Africa
Kristin Morri1
If you've ever taken an Anthropology class with Professor
David Turkon, you've probably learned something about the
Mokhotlong District of Lesotho in Africa.
You know that he did field work among the Basotho who are
the ethnic Sotho people who Live in lesotho.
Turkon has traveled to Lesotho for field work five times since
he started teaching. During those trips he has spent 13 months
living among the Basotho.
In 1987, when Turkon made his fir t expedition there with
another anthropologist, he had an interesting experience while
preparing to go to sleep in the rondavel. whach is a small round
stone building with a thatch roof.
\~hile preparing for sleep, the eerie silence was broken by
approaching footsteps and someone singing in an ominous
voice. They were singing in Sesotho, the language of the Basotho,
so they couldn't understand what was being said.
They became frightened so they got dressed and were
prepared to run if they felt threatened.
Wllen they stopped to think they realized this wouldn't be
the best of ideas since they didn't know where to run and if they
ran off in the mountainous area they may run off of a cliff.
They sat still for awhile and eventually the person singing
moved away and left them in silence again.
It hasn't always been traveling around the world and living
among the Basotho people though: Turkon has taught here at
Glendale Community College (GCC) since 1996,has worked full
time for the last six years, and has taught Anthropology courses
since 1986.
He has also taught Cultural Ecology, Introduction to the
Cultures of Africa and Survey of Southern Africa.
He currently teaches Introduction to Anthropology,
Comparative Religion and Racial and Ethnic Relations in the
United States here at GCC, but after this semester he is moving
on.
Sabrina Binochea, a student in hi.s Comparative Religions
class, called Magic, Witchcraft and Healing, said she enjoyed the
class and especially liked the movies he presented, except for one
because she thought it was "graphic and gross~
Not only has Turkon done field work in lesotho, he also did
field work in the Adirondack Mountains in New York where
people who were impacted by acid rain were denying it because
they thought it would hurt the tourism.
He also did field work in the Sierra Madre Occidental among
the Huichol, but it became more of a visit than field work.
Turkon has traveled many places outside of his work, but still
saw the world through the eye of an Anthropologist.

Tattoos depict oldest form of folk art
Bodies become living canvasses o/
art /or people young and old
Where is a better place to display a
work of art than on your body, a canvas
that travels with your every move? The
tattoo craze that has been preading
from teen to adult and adult to teen
has infected women and men who ink
their skin as a form of self-expression.
Ewa Bury, 21. of Glendale, has an
Onx symbol tattooed on her lower
back.
According to Bury, "It's a fad, it's
popular and it's fun. People sometimes
like to rebel and · ex pre s themselves
with art on their bodies. Tattoos
are a creative way to do it. They also
represent what you believe in.·
She goes on to state, "My tattoo
represents my beliefs. It as an Onx
symbol that stands for eternal life. It
· represents what 1 believe in, my morals,
religion, and how much I value life."
It seems as though self-expression
comes at a price in the business world..
Many professional companies who
seek presentable employees cf9 not
acknowledge visible works of body
art as acceptable in their field of
employment.
Jerry Lobec owner of Tre FrateUi
Restaurante, an upscale Italian
restaurant in Glendale, is against
hiring employees who display visible
body art.
·vwble tattoos make the
environment less professional and the
clientele would not appreciate them.
1 do not have a problem with the
tattoos as long as the employees could
cover them with their work uniform,"
comments Lobec.
Those who desire a tattoo, but do
not want it to cause a problem in their
life get it in places that could be easily
covered by clothing.
Michelle Thomas-Mull, 20, a
waitress at Tre Fratelli Restauraltte,
has a small <;hinese symbol tattooed
on her lower hipbone.
· "When I got my tattoo in March of
last year, I wanted to place it somewhere
that I would be able to cover up with
clothing, so that I would not have
trouble at work," said Thomas· Mull.
Not all companies are that strict
about the image their employees
present and will hire their employees
based on skiiJs and qualifications.
Bill Penlant, 24 of Glendale, works
for Diamondback Construction in
Scottsdale. He says he did not have a
problem with employment.
"I have tattoos of flags on my
forearms, but because 1 work in
construction and it is a dirty job,
the work ethics do not focus on the
appearance of the worker. Rather,
the focus is on their skills and ability
to execute their tasks. However, if
1 were to go on a btJS!ness trip with
my company then yes, 1 would have
to cover my tattoos up to look more
presentable. That could be easily done
with a long-sleeve sAirt," said PenJant.
Tattoos have often been associated
with rock stars, rebellious teenagers
and gang members, but in reality

tattoos have been prevalent in much
earlier history.
Bonnie Loss, art teacher at
Glendale Community College says, •rt
is probably the oldest form of folk art.
M far as 1 know, every culture since
prehistoric times has embellished their
bodies with tattoos, paint, piercing, or
body alterations such as scaring and
implants. Sometimes it is for religious
purposes, tribal ident:lty. to be more
attractive, or to show how macho one
is:
Rings, necklates, earrings,
and chains are out. Tattoos are the
permanent body accessories that do
not go out of style and the purchase of
one will last a lifetime.
Auditions for 'Anne Frank' to be held
Young girl's diary
inspires many and
is brought to stage
Giru~ Delahunt
It was over 60 years ago that Anne
Frank composed her last entry in her
diary. Although she will never get the
opportunity to see the impact she has
created, her legend will hve on wath
people from all countries and cultures.
Thas fall, Glendale Community College
will be putting on the production of
~The Diary of Anne Frank."
"The play is based on the diary of a
young girl, who has to grow up under
extreme circumstances.
This will be the highlight and
focus of the play," describes Virginia
Ludders, the director of the Theatre
department.
This play will provide the audience
with a visual into the life of not only
Anne Frank, but also her family. It will
show the plight they were forced to live
with during their hiding m an attic in
Amsterdam.
"We are going to use a recently new
adaptive version of the old play. I think
at has a fresh approach to telhng the
story," satd Ludders.
There are 13 characters in this
play; five women and eight men. The
ages range from 17 to 60. There are
no preparations needed to audition.
Everyone that is auditioning will only
need to do cold readings.
GCC student, Amber crow stated,
"I have been doing drama for eight
years and my major is in theatre. I want
to be in this play because I think it will
be a challenge for me. Also, I think that
this play will make an impact on people
because of the story it provides."
The auditions for this play will be
held in the Performing Arts Center
and all students are invited to audition,
even af you are not enrolled at GCC.
They will be held on Sept.? and 8, from
6 to9 p.m.
"I am familiar ~ith the 'Diary of
Anne Frank: I think that the reason
why I would enjoy oeiog a part of this
production is becaus~ I have never
done drama before,"· said GCC student
Ben Pitts.
This play will not only be a great
opportunity to learn more about the
story. but will be a gre·at way for students
to c reatively express themselves.
Ludder explains, "I look for people
with de ire. It IS "amazing because
sometimes we f10d people that have no
experience, turn·out to be great m the
plays."
TV changes
direction for
fall season
television season, with shows like Fox's Prison Break
and Bones, ABC's Lost, and the WB's Supernatural,
the fall season has become more appealing to the
Glendale Communaty College students that lost
interest in televasion dunng the reality erne.
"I was getting really sack of Survivor and those
relationship shows. If I wanted to watch relationship
drama I would have tayed in high school," Tera
Southwick sa ad about the reality shows.
Southwick's VIews on reality shows seemed to
be the general consensus among many of the other
students at GCC. Karhe Howell has taken her
oppo ition of current teleVISIOn programming to an
extreme by not having a TV in her house at all.
shows are still a bad mnuence on modern cul ture.
"It's not tight that children are subjected to the
lack of dress on TV, it has a negativ~ effect on them,
causing them to act out," continued Howell.
Steve Wood, who found himself watching less
TV after the sitcom age was replaced with reality
shows, is gJad that reality shows are being replaced by
dramas. Suspenseful programs such as CSJ, Law and
Order: Criminal Intent, Bones and PriSCn Break are
among the new d ramas thi faJI.
Viewers want
suspense over reality

become a babysatter and n shouldn't be. Parents are
leaVIng kads 10 front of at and then come back to
find thear chaldren's eyes still glued to the TV set,"
accordang to Howell.
Whale Howell doesn't beheve all TV 1s bad, she
beheves at hould have more educational programs

"I really like shows that are SuSP.fnseful and make

Date My Mo,h, 1J1e Real World and Next are pointless
and I can expenence that myself. TV as upposed to
be an escape from reahty," sa ad Wqod.
Wood's outlook on TV seems to be hared by
the heads of televasaon networl<s, leading to the

Hinkel started train ing for the trail about a year ago. hiking

11 returning players strengthen football t~am
Sara St. John
Gaucho football fans can look
forward to a season led by 11 returning
starters and a lot of new talent.
Head Coach Joe Kersting, who is
in his 15th year coaching at Glendale
Community College, has a positive
outlook for this season because his
team played well the last half of fall
2004. The Gauchos won five out of
six games in the second half of last
season.
Adding to the overall strength of the
team this year, are the four pre-season
All-American players: Eric McCain,
Brett Leeds, Reno Paccioni and Torrey
Huckaby.
The team's strengths this year,
according to Kersting, are their defense
and speed. "We're fast, really fast."
Kersting said.
Morris Wooten is the middle
linebacker and the freshman who
stepped up to lead the team's
defense this year.
Wooten added. that the team's
chemistry is going to be what could
possibly catapult them into a successful
season and is what he says, "is the best
thing about playing football for GCC."
One of Wooten's personal goals is to
do what he can to make a good season
a reality for this year's sophomores so
they will get recognition and interest
from other colleges.
One goal that the team has set for
this season is to beat its local rivals,
Scottsdale Community College who
beat GCC last year and won the
conference, and the Dixie State Rebels
who are ranked Number 2 nationally
for this season while the Gauchos are
ranked Number 10.
This won't be difficult toaccmplish,
according to Jose Lucero, the team's
center, beca,.use one major advantage
they have ·as a team after coming off
of a season where the team was "a
little young and a little raw in some
positions." is they that have experience
working together.

to prepare them as much as possible. personal goal for this year -- to become
a good leader for the team.
The team members have also put in
a lot of training during the off-season
"Leadership is what wins games."
said quarterback Tim Brockwell, and
leadership is what the Gaucho's boast
they have a lot of this year.
Last year the kicking game lacked
_in kicking points and kicking off, so
there will be quite a bit of emphasis on
Several of the players had the same special teams training this season.

At the age· of H . ·na White broke two of her h1p from Just

"I never thought in a million years that would happen to me."

White was playing at school on the playground. She and her
friends decided to kick up a game of kick ball. She never expected
that game to almost make her become paralyzed.
"I was playing with some friends, and this guy by the name of

she said "My leg felt like it turned all the way around and then

wallced with a limp for a while but I thought that would go away.
Three months later my right hip bone slipped out of the socket
and I was helpless for a while after that."
Before her hip had slipped. she visited two different doctors
out of the course of three months after the incident. The first
doctor said that they couldn't detect anything from her x-rays, and
that she should try taking Epson salt baths and Tylenol. About a
month later th~ pain became greater and she saw another doctor,
the doctor that almost ruined her life.

pa1n. o after my mom got off of work. we took me to her do<.tor
that had been seeing her for year . When I got out of our Jeep at
the ume, my h•p JUSt slipped and I wa stopped dead m my trat ks.
I felt like my leg wad m1 smg and I dadn't know what to do next. I
screamed for help and cned for my mom. All he could do 1s run
into the doctors' office to ge~ help."
Just like everyone clse m the world, White thought that he
would be safe. But all of that trust she had in her doctor went
away once her and her doctor's eyes connected.
"For the fi rst time in my life I felt unsafe. It's like 1 knew
sometlung was goirtg to happen once I looked into h1s eyes.
He came in pulling on my leg and hitting on my foot. I think I
screamed so loud to the point I passed out. He took my mom
out of the room and told her that 1 was faking and I just wanted
attention. So he had a nurse come in and give me a shot on my
side. I thinJc I felt more pain when we got to the house. My mom
no longer believed me. ! cried out for her help and she just left me
there to help myself. It took me two hours to get from the garage
to my bedroom. Let me add that we lived in a two story house. So
the next day we went to the last doctor who saved my life. He told
me some news that almost made me want to die:'
The doctor told White, her mother, and her father that if she
would have waited one more day she could have been paralyzed.
The doctor performed surgery on her the next day.
"After my surgery I was in pain but I felt like a new person."
said White. "1 made sure I went to therapy everyday so I would
strenglhen up my leg and feel better about my elf. But about a
rear later I had to get urgery done on the left h1p. C)mc..e the nbht

I apolog1zed to her a thousand times. Now when she cnes out
for help, I come runnmg because I know that she need me and I
don't know what I would do Without her:'
Now at the age of 19, White i 5 '9~ 170 pounds and enjoymg
life. She IS athletic and loving school and work.
"Even though I'm not really into port anymore, the only
lhing 1 do is go to school and work. I was scared to go to GCC
because none of my friends were there and I would be alone. But
things arc pretty cool. I'm not into making friends, so alii do is go
to school then go straight to work."
White is currently one of the three assistant managers at
Claire's in the Arrowhead Mall.
Her manager Davina Kennedy says, "I love having Tia here.
I didn't know that she went through so much. But he has been
with the company for three years and she ts always m a good
mood and on top of her game. She i wonderful and I can't wa1t
until I can train her to become a manager of her own store:'
Life for White is lookmg nice. She is currently engage to her

GCC's presiden tial search starts anew with two candidates racing [or seat
lauren Myers
On Thursday. Sept.15, two
candidates, Dr. Toni P. jenkins and Dr.
Debra L. McCurdy, were presented
in the Student Union at a forum as
fina lists for the position as president.
The forum was open to students, staff,
faculty, and the public.
People were allowed to hear the
candidates make opening statements
and then ask each candidate questions
about how they would handle the
position of president of Glendale
Community College (GCC). Also,
participants filled out a survey about
both candidates.
The surveys will be given to
Chancellor Rufus Glasper for his
review. After careful consideration of
the two candidates the chancellor will
make a recommendation to the board of
which candidate should be considered
for the presidency. The candidates are
as follows:
Dr. Toni P. Jenkins
Dr. Toni P. Jenkins is currently
the Executive Vice President of a
college district in Texas called Collin
Community College District.
jenkins has several large
accomplishments that stand out in her
career. While at Collin. her leadership
saw to one million dollars in workforce
development grants. During the past
year, this has helped train over 700
employees in seven cities.
Jenkins also co-authored Collin
District's Access and Equity Plan and
was activelyinvolvedina program called
"Closing the Gaps:" Both programs
were designed to increase high school
graduation, college admissions and
graduation among under-represented
student populations.
Dr. Debra L. McCurdy
Dr. Debra L. McCurdy is currently
the Provost/ Chief Officer of Georgia
Perimeter College.
Among McCurdy's accomplish­ments
is the Georgia Association
of Educational Office Personnel
Adminstrator of the Year Award, 2003-
2004, and the Student Affairs Support
of Student Award. 1994.
McCurdy brings the experience of a
two-year college as well as a four-year
college.
This will be the second time that
GCC has narrowed down its candidates
to two people. During the first search,
both candidates turned down the job
after it was offered to them.
The subject was brought up during
the campus forums, "I have been
preparing myself for this move for
some time; said jenkins, "but I have
not been applying for everything that
comes across my desk. I have a great
job right now. I have a great situation; I
have a great staff, faculty. But I like this

Much of the faculty was concerned
about diversity issues on campus,
namely the lawsuit that was recently
filed this year. Both candidates
answered the questions, making sure
to show sensitivity to issues of diversity
and changing demographics.
Students that attended asked about
how involved the candidate would be
with student.s.
"The human side of what we do is
more imporunt than anything else;
said McCurdy, "The human spirit can
either light the way or be my worst
nightmare."
GCC celebrates past;

» ra St. John
Glendale Community College is
celebrating its 4Q•h anniversary this
year.
On Jan. 3, 1963 the Maricopa
County Community College District
(MCCCD) announced that it would
expand from one college (Phoenix
College) to a countywide system .
On April I 2, 1965 two new colleges
were officially named: GCC servmg
the \X'est valley and .Mesa Commumty
College (MCC) servmg the East valley.
In essence, ~ICC IS our 1ster school,
mce we were e tabh hed on the same
day.
lhe formmg of these two chools
was s1gmficant, becau\e they created
a d1stnct that stretched from the far
\X'e t to the far East. Ih" allowed for
the anuc1pated gro,•tth of the ,-aJiev.
11m was a pionecnng effort because
planner~ had the fores1ght to 'iCe that m
ume, these rural arN would de,·elop

1he rwo groups that were
101tially cho en for the e colleges to
accommodate were adult students
returnmg to school and recent h1gh
school graduates tarung their 'po t·
secondary educauon.
Dunng GCC's openmg fall semester
of 1965, the 2.000 tudents enrolled
went to two d1fferent temporary
locations, they were the Camelback and
Maryland location .
Each location had a student
government of it•s own which made
dec1 10ns for the permanent Glendale
Commumry College to come. They
voted on things such as the school
mascot and the school color .
On Sept.l6, 1966 the first day of
classe on GCC's brand new permanent
location at 59'1' and Olive Avenues
began. The campus was formally
dedicated on Oct. 16, 1966.
Some parts of GCC's history that
current students can see on campus
daily. are the football field named after
Man 0. Hanhila and the hbrary, wh1ch
is named after Dr. john F. Pnnce. They
were the two first executive deans at
GCC. After that, there were presidents,
w1th Dr. John Waltnp bemg the first
who served from 1975- 1996.

Professor's internship opens door for GCC
Glendale Community College's professor of computer science
and mathematics, Carol Barner has been on sabbatical since May
in order to intern at a genetic research institute called TGen
(Translational Genomics Research Institute) in order to learn
more about Bioinformatics.
they can learn how to form sequences and analyze things in a lab
but bioinformatics will give them a leg up from that. It will teach
how to analyze the data that has been gathered in the lab.
"That (bioinformatics) has value not just for their (students)
understanding but also because when the lab equipment break
they can still be very useful if they know how to do something on
the computer as well," said Barner.
Barner chose to intern at TGen because she says, "It's the primo
place to be in the biotech in the world right now. It's stocked with
a lot of top level researchers from around the country. They're
doing wonderful work down there. I'm privileged to be apart of
it.:"
Barner has learned some valuable things while at TGen.
However, she feels that one of the most valuable things that
she has gotten out of internship is that she has built valuable
connections in the bioinformatics community and at TGen.
• Maybe someday I'll be able to send some students down there
tO do internships," said Barner, "For me personally, I've learned a
lot about object oriented recursive decent par scene and pearl.
It has sharpened my programming skills. That's a different area I
hadn't done before.:"
For those of you left wondering what bioinformatics is,
Barner's informal definition is, "using computer programs with
math formulas written into them to analyze the new genetic
discoveries.:" A few years ago it was announced that the whole
human genome had been out on to CD. Bioinformatics will
answer the question, "What do we do with it?"
The internship wiU allow Barner to better teach the
bioinformatics class offered once a year at GCC. This will also
allow her to better start a bioinformatics program for students
looking to major in Biotechnology.
Barner is tentatively scheduled to return from sabbatical in
Nov. Barner's sabbatical hasn't necessarily been a relaxing one.
Not only is she interning at TGen, she is also working on her
Masters degree in Bioinformatics at ASU.
Bioinformatics is important to Biotechnology majors because
Barner has been teaching at ASU for 19 years. Her personal
interests include four wheel driving with her husband in their Jeep
Wrangler Rubicon and agility training their two Sheltie dogs.
AM rapist still at large; attacked 11 women in 9 months
Morpn Haynes
In the past nine months at least 11
women have been attacked by the "AM
Rapist."
The Phoenix Police Department is
doing all that it can to keep the Valley
safe including handing out sketches of the
suspect, going over all of the evidence and
looking for any possible leads. Phoenix
police have described the suspect as a
Caucasian or Hispanic male, 20·35 years
old, 5'8" -5'9" tall, brown buzz-cut hair and
heavy set with a noticeable "pot belly."
The first known attack began in
November 2004. The rapist has not waited
more than 88 days between attacks. He
has chosen victims who are Caucasian
women from the ages of 20-46 and who
live in multi-family housing or apartment
complexes. Although this gives police a
• general idea as to who could be a possible
victim, the rapist randomly picks whom
he attac~s. according to police.
"Most rapists have a noticeable rape
assault cycle, and this suspect certainly
has one," said Cindy Nannetti, former
district attorney in sex crimes.
He is pre.sumed to watch and stalk his
victims and strike late at night or in the
early morning hours while his victims are
asleep. His tjme of attack is the reason for
· his nickname, the "AM rapist." He awakes
his victims and then assaults them. After
the assault has taken place, he nees the
scene.
Nannetti said, "Rapists are very good at
isolating and making sure their victims are
alone."
Isolation is one of the tactics that the
suspect uses. All of the victims have been
isolated with no one in close enough
proximity to really prevent the assault.
According to the U.S. Department
of Justice, a woman is raped every two
minutes. This fact, along with the alert of
the AM Rapist, has women all around the
valley on edge.
Ashley Lazok, Glendale Community
College freshman, 18, said, "I don't go out
at night by myself anymore. It's just too
scary."
Police are advising all women to make
sure their doors and windows are locked.
The rapist is known to stalk his victims
one week before attacking. Police are
also advising women to be aware of any
suspicious individuals and report any
suspicious activity.
Nannetti said, "Typically, rapists will
rise to the level of violence needed to
commit d1e assault ... so do what you have
to do to get out alive."

Editorial
Bush response under fire
The devastation of Hurricane Katrina has enabled the
whole world to see what this country is truly made
of. The relief efforts sought to aid Katrina's victims are
representations of true compassion from not only the entire
country but the world as well.
A •gnificant dilemma citizen of America are toiling with
is the reaction by those wh'l claim some aren't doin g enough
along w1th the doubt of dealing with the appropriate t1me to
reenter and rebu1ld. everal of these concerns and claims are
being d1rected at one indiVIdual who is doubted by many in his
deci ions, e pecially since his decisions affect so much of our
lives.
This man IS President George W. Bush. In the negative
aspect, accusations exist that the President is not doing enough
to aid the relief efforts. Some believe that his flight over the
destruction was not a useful method of helping anyone in need
ar:~d his lack of involvment and what has been thought to be
interest does not qualify him to make certain decisions dealing
with this trauma.
Since the news of the hurricane has spread like the wildfires
of Arizona, the Bush Administration sent national aid to
assist the people in Louisianna, Alabama, and Mississippi.
- Frank MCMTis
The evacuees have been removed and officials are wasting no
time in addressing the next major issue. Currently, the latest
dilemma under discussion, is when is the appropriate time for
the victims of Hurricane Katrina to be allowed back into their
home. Some advisers give useless advice
President Bush had sent the National Guard in to evacuate
the people of the cities for their own good. Whether they
wanted to stay or not, was not an option.
Now the situation plaguing the administration is the issue of
placing these people back into their home. Questions such as;
Is it too soon? Are there enough resources both finandaUy and
medically to support the victims? How quickly can the city be
rebuilt?

NAU Professor studies college students~ lives; writes book
Chrissy Luao
It's hard to imagine that a professor
would go through all the trouble in
pretending to be a college student for
two semesters, just to find out why
students do not care .
One professor, by the name of
Cathy Small did just that to search for
answers.
Small, an anthropologist professor
at Northern Arizona Unive rsity often
wondered why students had the
tendency to eat in class and why some
never cared to come to her office hours,
even if they needed help.
Small enrolled for two semesters
at NAU, moved mto a single dorm
and started her observations for her
upcommg book, "My Freshmen Year:
What a Professor Learned by Becoming
a Student," scheduled to come out
sometime this mo nth.
In her book, Small menuons that
nearly two th1rds of what students
learn ts ources from outs1de of the
classroom in work, relauon haps. and
living 1tuallons.
It is important to note, however,
that most of her research was made on
a freshmen colle.ge level point-of-view.
Walter Pate, a sophomore GCC
student, criminal justice major,
somewhat agrees.
"I learned a lot from relationships.
But, I learned the most from growing
up but not necessarily from school,"
says Pate.
Another GCC student, fre hmen.
Jo h Hope, business major, says that at
is day- to-day life that students e1ther
learn from all sources.
"School g1ves tudents necessary
background information everybody
should know one way or another," says
Hope.
Another th10g that Small observed
as a student 1 the fact that tudents
tend to hang out w1th thear own race,
especially those of Anglo ethnicatie .
Freshmen GCC s tudent, Yasmme
Asadi, art maJOr, defimtely agrees. Asadi
said that she believes that segregauon IS
among us but that does not mean that
students are necessary raast.
•tt is more of a cultural thing. I
think. It also depends on if you are
open-minded," s tated Asadi.
Pate commented by saying, "It's
true. That's hfe, though. I interact WJth
my own race more. I do. I interact the
most w1th the football team and the
rest I'm cool w1th." stated Pate.
An even more mtere ungobservauon
is that Small, "d1d not hear one pohucal
or plulosoph1cal dascuss10n dunng
her time m the dorm by that plenty of
atte.nt1on wa focused in whach students
d1scussed thetr sex laves.·
Hope agrees, "Yes, o rne people talk
about sex on a da1ly bas1s. What lthmk
about on a dally basas IS findmg g1rls
and fnends and domg well in school;
says Hope.
Although there has been qu1te a
controversy about the book, according
to Small, "the purpose of thi approach
IS not expose; it as understanding and
paSSIOn."
Asadi disagrees. She feels that
it is still b1ased and feels Small JUSt
dec1ded to pay attention to tereotype
and d1d not get to know the students
10dav1dually.
Pate disagrees also, "All that research
d1d was, conunue the tereorype that
college students do not care about the1r
educauon. You have to care about your
educauon 10 order to do methang 10
hfe," says Pate. "You can always be out
there making money. Anybody can get
a Job at McDonalds ."

Interim President Abel -presides
over Glendale Community ~ollege
uurenMyen
lhe end of the spring semester of
2005 brought the retirement of President
Randolph. Since Dr. Randolph has left
GCC, Vice- President Jean Ann Abel has
been appointed to the position of Interim
President of GCC. She will act as the
temporary president until a new president
is appointed.
Interim President Abel has been with
the Maricopa County District for 21 years
and has been here at GCC for 16 yeus.
Due to the years that Interim President
Abel has been involved with GCC, Interim
President Abel was someone that was
easy to transition in to the position of
president.
"The transition was not as difficult as
it would have been if had I been here a
shorter period of time or from another unit
from within the district. I know the people
here and I know the progra~s here; said
Interim President Abel.
Interim President Abel has more
than just years at GCC. She also has
life experience and contacts with in the
community that make her qualified to take
on the position.
Through her community contacts,
Interim President Abel hopes to be able
help the faculty at GCC.
In fact, Interim President Abel"s
personal goals include helping faculty
members who are looking for a different
way to do things or trying to develop
something new. She also would like to
help faculty that are trying to work with
other colleges or universities.
"I just really enjoy doing whatever I can
do to help them [GCC faculty} and support
them; said Interim President Abel.
As Interim President, Abel will be
continuing to give support in moving
initiatives along. If there are any new
initiatives then she will review those and
move forward.
A large screening committee has
reviewed applications for the president's
position.
There is already a pool of applications
and over the summer, the position was
promoted to gain more applications.
Currently, the committee is setting up
the interviews.
Each candidate is required to go
through a long and rigorous process
before someone is appointed as president.
It is possible that by Jan. GCC will have a
new president.

of another person as a solution to a problem.
Killing somebody should never be a resolution
to any dilemma. especially in the eyes of a
religious leader. He of all people should know it
is not his place to judge let alone determine the
fate of another person's life.
l he United States was also misrepresented
by this outrageous comment. The reason being,
while a majority of Americans do not agree ,, Wow! I must have missed
the day of Sunday school
when the teacher taught
that it was okay to kill an­other
human being under
certain circumstances. ,,
with Robertson, he made it seem as though this
was a popular view shared by Americans.
Where is the justification for advocating
the murder of another human being and yet
being so against the ever so controversial issue
of abortion? Robertson's strong public stance
against abortion does not quite match up with
his strong statement against Chavez. Rather, it
is completely hypocritical. ihe bottom line is
Robertson needs to think before he speaks in
order to avoid political controversy.

U. S. officials plan· to stay in Iraq 4 more years
FrAnk Morrb
In the face of a rising death toll and sinking
approval numbers, President George W. Bush
continues to reject recent calls for immediate
withdrawal of troops in Iraq, as the Pentagon
plans to temporarily increa.se its number of
armed forces in Iraq, and the Army prepares to
stay in Iraq until at least 2009.
Nearly 1,900 American troops have died in
Iraq si'nce the start of the war in March 2003.
Over 40 of those deaths occurred in August,
making last month the deadliest month of the
war thus far for the US military.
An estimated, tens of thousands of Iraqi
civilians have also died since the start of the
war.
With political violence and unrest continuing
in Iraq, the Pentagon is drafting plans to keep
the number of US forces in Iraq at, or above,
100,000 for another four years to prepare for
a "worse case scenario" -- though these figures
could be adjusted lower if necessary.
Presently, the number of US troops in Iraq
is 138.000.
l his number will temporarily increase in
mid-Scptrmbcr, however, when the Pentagon
sends an additional 1,500 paratroopers to Iraq
to provtde secunty ahead of the scheduled
constitutton rderendum tn October and the
national elections in December.
l hey wtll stay in Iraq for four months.
Meanwhile, Pre ident Bush's approval
numbers·· both for his overall job performance,
and for his handling of the Iraq war •· are at a
record low, hovering at or below 40 percent.
The president had seen approval numbers in
the low to mid-40s most of the year.
"Millions of Americans are simply 'war
averse;' says Dr. William Lamkin, professor of
world politics at GCC. "Many who supported
the war earlier are less enthusiastic now."
One such person is Cindy Sheehan, who has
become a global voice in speaking out against
the war. Her son, Casey, died in the Iraq war Ia t
year.
With no weapons of mass destruction found
in Iraq, Sheehan is seeking answers from the
president over the purpose of her son's death.
The president has so far refused to speak to
Sheehan one-on-one.
Sheehan began a peace vigil outside Bush's
Crawford ranch on Aug. 6 that attracted over
3.000 demo~strators in support of either
Sheehan or Bush.
Sheehan is currently on an anti-war bus tour
to Wa htngton, D.C .. When he arrives on Sept:
24, he and other protester wtll then begtn a
24-hour vtgtl there.
De pile growtng dt content with the Iraq
war, Prestdent Bush remains fi rm in "staytng the
course~
Pulling out of the Iraq war now "will almost
surely increase the probability of future terronst
attacks on American civilians inside of the US."
Lamkin contends. Lamkin also thinks "setting
any realistic target date [for withdrawal of
troops in Iraq] would be almost as bad as pulling
out tomorrow: and that the debate over the war
hurts troop morale.
A number of Americans. including Deborah
Johns, are of the same mind. Johns, a mother of
a son serving in Iraq, began the campaign called
"You don't speak for me, Cindy!" to counter
Sheehan's protests.
Johns' pro-war bus tour stopped in Glendale
at Arribas Mexican Grill at Arrowhead Towne
Center last month.
Johns and her followers are suppon ers of
Bush's war policy, and strongly disagree with
Sheehan's calls for pulling out of the Iraq war.
lhey cla1m that speaking out against the warts
netther upporuve of servtce men and women,
nor conducive to winning the war.
Vanous pohuctan from both tde of the
political pectrum would agree.
Recently, however, Bush has faced har h
cnuct m from a promtnent member of hts own
party. Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of cbra ka
has compared the Iraq war to Vietnam and has
made demands for a pull-out strategy and a
withdrawal date from the Bu h admini tratton.
Many GCC students are also growmg
dtsillu toned with the Iraq war.
Sean Martin, an art freshma n, is concerned
that by staytng in Iraq longer, the number and
frequency of terror-related incidents, both
in ide and outstde of the US, will inc rea e.
Marttn also doe n't believe that votcing
oppo ition to the Iraq war is necessanly
unsupportlve of the troops.· Even if a person says
'bring the troops back home: that's supporting
our troops because you're aying that for the
sake of our troops."
Bu iness freshman, David Coffel. concurs.
"We, a a country, don't support this war, we
don't support [Bush's war) policy, but the one
thing we do. and have to do, is upport our
troops." Coffel a ~M! rts.

59th Avenue construction produces mixed feelings
Gi- Delahunt
ln the past, a drive down 59 Avenue did not include
construction that would malce you think about taking an alternate
route. Now 59 avenue will endure construction to widen the four
lanes to six.
"The construction will take place all the way from downtown
Glendale to the 101 loop and will only be on the west side. It
will move from the south to the north." explained Charles Jeffrey,
Dean of Inst.
The construction may cause ihe usual noise and inconvenience
for civilians but the idea of spreading the lanes is to ensure better
traffic flow. The construction wiH be temporary but the outcome
will make an lasting effect.
"The negative effects of the construction is the noise and the
growth and development that occurs. The positive effects are that
there will be extra lanes. There will be three lanes on each side.
by 59 avenue and the construction will be a hassle but I think
it will ease traffic congestion. I think that their will also be less
accidents for the students entering the college, because their will
be more lanes.·
Also there will be mediums going across 59 avenue. The
mediums will keep the drivers from cutting across. This will create
safer traffic flow and will be more efficient; descr ibes Jeffrey.
As the construction moves south to north, it may seem that 59
avenue will be in traffic for some time. It can't be said exactly how
long the construction will take. There are never any certainties. It
may be safer and faster to take alternate routes such as 51 avenue.
The alternate routes will help you to avoid any detours that you
may be forced to take if you decide to drive down 59.
The money that is being provided for this project will mostly
be from the city. They will provide about two million dollars and
hopefully that will be enough to take care of the project. There is
always a chance that the money could run out and if so hopefully
their will be some back up plan.
• I just recently received a job on 59 avenue and Greenway.
Kelly Hall, Glendale Community College student says, "I live
I know that the construction is for a good cause but I am not
looking forward to the hassle that comes with construction;
explains G.C.C student, Daniel Cozza.

At the age· of H . ·na White broke two of her h1p from Just

White was playing at school on the playground. She and her
friends decided to kick up a game of kick ball. She never expected
that game to almost make her become paralyzed.
"I was playing with some friends, and this guy by the name of

she said "My leg felt like it turned all the way around and then

Three months later my right hip bone slipped out of the socket
and I was helpless for a while after that."
Before her hip had slipped. she visited two different doctors
out of the course of three months after the incident. The first
doctor said that they couldn't detect anything from her x-rays, and
that she should try taking Epson salt baths and Tylenol. About a
month later th~ pain became greater and she saw another doctor,
the doctor that almost ruined her life.

GCC's presiden tial search starts anew with two candidates racing [or seat
lauren Myers
On Thursday. Sept.15, two
candidates, Dr. Toni P. jenkins and Dr.
Debra L. McCurdy, were presented
in the Student Union at a forum as
fina lists for the position as president.
The forum was open to students, staff,
faculty, and the public.
People were allowed to hear the
candidates make opening statements
and then ask each candidate questions
about how they would handle the
position of president of Glendale
Community College (GCC). Also,
participants filled out a survey about
both candidates.
The surveys will be given to
Chancellor Rufus Glasper for his
review. After careful consideration of
the two candidates the chancellor will
make a recommendation to the board of
which candidate should be considered
for the presidency. The candidates are
as follows:
Dr. Toni P. Jenkins
Dr. Toni P. Jenkins is currently
the Executive Vice President of a
college district in Texas called Collin
Community College District.
jenkins has several large
accomplishments that stand out in her
career. While at Collin. her leadership
saw to one million dollars in workforce
development grants. During the past
year, this has helped train over 700
employees in seven cities.
Jenkins also co-authored Collin
District's Access and Equity Plan and
was activelyinvolvedina program called
"Closing the Gaps:" Both programs
were designed to increase high school
graduation, college admissions and
graduation among under-represented
student populations.
Dr. Debra L. McCurdy
Dr. Debra L. McCurdy is currently
the Provost/ Chief Officer of Georgia
Perimeter College.
Among McCurdy's accomplish­ments
is the Georgia Association
of Educational Office Personnel
Adminstrator of the Year Award, 2003-
2004, and the Student Affairs Support
of Student Award. 1994.
McCurdy brings the experience of a
two-year college as well as a four-year
college.
This will be the second time that
GCC has narrowed down its candidates
to two people. During the first search,
both candidates turned down the job
after it was offered to them.
The subject was brought up during
the campus forums, "I have been
preparing myself for this move for
some time; said jenkins, "but I have
not been applying for everything that
comes across my desk. I have a great
job right now. I have a great situation; I

fit in this job:"
Much of the faculty was concerned
about diversity issues on campus,
namely the lawsuit that was recently
filed this year. Both candidates
answered the questions, making sure
to show sensitivity to issues of diversity
and changing demographics.
Students that attended asked about
how involved the candidate would be
with student.s.
"The human side of what we do is
more imporunt than anything else;
said McCurdy, "The human spirit can
either light the way or be my worst
nightmare."
GCC celebrates past;
prepares for future
» ra St. John
Glendale Community College is
celebrating its 4Q•h anniversary this
year.
On Jan. 3, 1963 the Maricopa
County Community College District
(MCCCD) announced that it would
expand from one college (Phoenix
College) to a countywide system .
On April I 2, 1965 two new colleges
were officially named: GCC servmg
the \X'est valley and .Mesa Commumty
College (MCC) servmg the East valley.
In essence, ~ICC IS our 1ster school,
mce we were e tabh hed on the same
day.
lhe formmg of these two chools
was s1gmficant, becau\e they created
a d1stnct that stretched from the far
\X'e t to the far East. Ih" allowed for
the anuc1pated gro,•tth of the ,-aJiev.
11m was a pionecnng effort because
planner~ had the fores1ght to 'iCe that m
ume, these rural arN would de,·elop
mto h1ghly populated c1ues
1he rwo groups that were
101tially cho en for the e colleges to
accommodate were adult students
returnmg to school and recent h1gh
school graduates tarung their 'po t·
secondary educauon.
Dunng GCC's openmg fall semester
of 1965, the 2.000 tudents enrolled
went to two d1fferent temporary
locations, they were the Camelback and
Maryland location .
Each location had a student
government of it•s own which made
dec1 10ns for the permanent Glendale
Commumry College to come. They
voted on things such as the school
mascot and the school color .
On Sept.l6, 1966 the first day of
classe on GCC's brand new permanent
location at 59'1' and Olive Avenues
began. The campus was formally
dedicated on Oct. 16, 1966.
Some parts of GCC's history that
current students can see on campus
daily. are the football field named after
Man 0. Hanhila and the hbrary, wh1ch
is named after Dr. john F. Pnnce. They
were the two first executive deans at
GCC. After that, there were presidents,
w1th Dr. John Waltnp bemg the first
who served from 1975- 1996.
To put thmgs m perspective a lmle.
tUitiOn m 1965 for 6 or more classes

Professor's internship opens door for GCC
Glendale Community College's professor of computer science
and mathematics, Carol Barner has been on sabbatical since May
in order to intern at a genetic research institute called TGen
(Translational Genomics Research Institute) in order to learn
more about Bioinformatics.
they can learn how to form sequences and analyze things in a lab
but bioinformatics will give them a leg up from that. It will teach
how to analyze the data that has been gathered in the lab.
"That (bioinformatics) has value not just for their (students)
understanding but also because when the lab equipment break
they can still be very useful if they know how to do something on
the computer as well," said Barner.
Barner chose to intern at TGen because she says, "It's the primo
place to be in the biotech in the world right now. It's stocked with
a lot of top level researchers from around the country. They're
doing wonderful work down there. I'm privileged to be apart of
it.:"
Barner has learned some valuable things while at TGen.
However, she feels that one of the most valuable things that
she has gotten out of internship is that she has built valuable
connections in the bioinformatics community and at TGen.
• Maybe someday I'll be able to send some students down there
tO do internships," said Barner, "For me personally, I've learned a
lot about object oriented recursive decent par scene and pearl.
It has sharpened my programming skills. That's a different area I
hadn't done before.:"
For those of you left wondering what bioinformatics is,
Barner's informal definition is, "using computer programs with
math formulas written into them to analyze the new genetic
discoveries.:" A few years ago it was announced that the whole
human genome had been out on to CD. Bioinformatics will
answer the question, "What do we do with it?"
The internship wiU allow Barner to better teach the
bioinformatics class offered once a year at GCC. This will also
allow her to better start a bioinformatics program for students
looking to major in Biotechnology.
Barner is tentatively scheduled to return from sabbatical in
Nov. Barner's sabbatical hasn't necessarily been a relaxing one.
Not only is she interning at TGen, she is also working on her
Masters degree in Bioinformatics at ASU.
Bioinformatics is important to Biotechnology majors because
Barner has been teaching at ASU for 19 years. Her personal
interests include four wheel driving with her husband in their Jeep
Wrangler Rubicon and agility training their two Sheltie dogs.
AM rapist still at large; attacked 11 women in 9 months
Morpn Haynes
In the past nine months at least 11
women have been attacked by the "AM
Rapist."
The Phoenix Police Department is
doing all that it can to keep the Valley
safe including handing out sketches of the
suspect, going over all of the evidence and
looking for any possible leads. Phoenix
police have described the suspect as a
Caucasian or Hispanic male, 20·35 years
old, 5'8" -5'9" tall, brown buzz-cut hair and
heavy set with a noticeable "pot belly."
The first known attack began in
November 2004. The rapist has not waited
more than 88 days between attacks. He
has chosen victims who are Caucasian
women from the ages of 20-46 and who
live in multi-family housing or apartment
complexes. Although this gives police a
• general idea as to who could be a possible
victim, the rapist randomly picks whom
he attac~s. according to police.
"Most rapists have a noticeable rape
assault cycle, and this suspect certainly
has one," said Cindy Nannetti, former
district attorney in sex crimes.
He is pre.sumed to watch and stalk his
victims and strike late at night or in the
early morning hours while his victims are
asleep. His tjme of attack is the reason for
· his nickname, the "AM rapist." He awakes
his victims and then assaults them. After
the assault has taken place, he nees the
scene.
Nannetti said, "Rapists are very good at
isolating and making sure their victims are
alone."
Isolation is one of the tactics that the
suspect uses. All of the victims have been
isolated with no one in close enough
proximity to really prevent the assault.
According to the U.S. Department
of Justice, a woman is raped every two
minutes. This fact, along with the alert of
the AM Rapist, has women all around the
valley on edge.
Ashley Lazok, Glendale Community
College freshman, 18, said, "I don't go out
at night by myself anymore. It's just too
scary."
Police are advising all women to make
sure their doors and windows are locked.
The rapist is known to stalk his victims
one week before attacking. Police are
also advising women to be aware of any
suspicious individuals and report any
suspicious activity.
Nannetti said, "Typically, rapists will
rise to the level of violence needed to
commit d1e assault ... so do what you have
to do to get out alive."
